Natural and refreshing, this little pillow is the perfect firmness for traveling, napping or lounging. The innovative Sasawashi fabric in this lounging pillow retains twice the absorbency of cotton, keeping you fresh and comfortable in any season. The Sasawashi Lounge Pillow is filled with buckwheat husks, believed to be the perfect material for pillows in Japan's hot and humid climate. The husks are boiled and soaked in Kumazasa extract, heightening the pillow's natural deodorizing properties. No chemicals are used in the production of this pillow, making it gentle to the skin and kind to the environment.

Includes a removable cover.

Inspired by agricultural tools and instruments, artist Keiichi Tanaka imagines radical approaches to ikebana in his series of abstract ceramic vases. Singular sprigs of flowers peek out from the four ends of the vase, illustrating the relationship between nature and artistry like leaves sprouting through concrete. Tanaka here casts the simple vase as an art object: with flowers, it positions the natural world within our modernist society; without flowers it stands alone as a work of art to be displayed year-round.

About Acrylate Resin CastingSimilar to amber, insects and other curiosities can be preserved in acrylic resin for generations. The process typically involves pouring acrylic into a mold with the dried plant on a slightly solidified gel. The specimen is then pressurized in the mold to remove bubbles before being slowly heated to stabilize the acrylic bonds. Finally, the specimen is shaped and buffed to remove any surface markings.
